The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

We carried out a wrong fuel removal exercise near a spectacular property in The Borough a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to nearly arrive at home when my car stopped." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and did a fuel drain and cleanse on the baby blue Kia Soul to everyone's satisfaction.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around sunrise and nobody was about. It was fairly dead so far, and me and John were sitting about reading through some old articles. This was an uncommon quiet time in Kensington and Chelsea. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a mate's Hyundai HED-5 in error". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was located and we headed out, getting to him in The Borough not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were going back home we noticed two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. So we got out to change it, to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
